Had to remove some content due to copyright after I published 😢 so apologies if it doesn’t flow in certain points
Rubbish. It was team work and because of that they win. Of course Messi played major role but …… 😅😅😅😅 it was not one man show 😅😅😅
Yee
I saw this comment after finishing it and I completely understand the point lol

New stat for virgin Messi fanboys: "shoulder scan" 😂. I hope you kids remember the 5 free pens he got in 5 matches out of 7 🤣
the more you learn about football, the more you appreciate Messi

He even scanned the sky just in case French players fly or something
Lol, I saw that too and I was wondering why he was looking up
Thats because the ball was in the air and he was simply looking at it.
Tell me you're stupid without telling me you're stupid
Messi : "left, right, behind, forward.. aigt i get the information"
Messi's grandma in heaven: "have you check the sky my boy, just in case..?"
Messi : "great idea grandma" *check the sky
The ball was literally in the air. Did u not watch the biggest football game ever?

A goalscorer with most assists.
A playermaker with 800+ goals.
Even as a madrid fan I've nothing but respect for this 🐐
And my respects to you for your honesty
How crazy is that!? Truly the greatest of all time.
Before a club fan, we're all football fans. And you know football.
Seriously how can people hate this man?
His playmaking ability is totally untouchable ❤

This is why I've always liked players like Pirlo, Modric, Messi. There's such an elegance in intelligent game overview, awareness and the great passing plays that emerge from it. So much more satisfying to watch than the cheap technical skill and tricks of more individualist players.
You forgot KDB.
KDB
Putting Messi next to Pirlo is an insult to Pirlo
@@bigsmoke6805 Messi literally is a greater Playmaker and an equal if not better passer than pirlo. I remember in one of the season when pirlo was still active, Messi created way more chances and big chances on the pitch than pirlo the entire season. If we talk about playmaking awards like "IFHHS Best playmaker" (an anuual award given to the best playmaker of the year), Messi have the most currently with 5. Pirlo have none since Xavi and iniesta dominated the award from 2008 to 2013. Then from 2014 to 2022, messi dominated mostly by winning everything except 4 years in between when kroos won the award once, modric once, and Kdb 2 times (and he'll probably win another this year.KDB was fire this season). Your comment just show your ignorance.
@@bigsmoke6805 lol putting Pirlo next to Messi is an insult to Messi. Messi is far better player than Pirlo
A perfect example is his side heel back pass to start that counter attack with Macalister and DiMaria vs France. Or running around like pacman with Gvardiol chasing him, while Messi watching Alvarez the whole time. What excellence...
It's NOT JUST THE SCANNING.
It's the incredible speed he processes what he's actually seing, which allows him to scan left to right and back again, with just a swing of his head.
He just "see" everything at a glance, and anyone who has played football at, at least, a semi professional level, knows how hard is to percieve things while moving at fast speed.
This is why Messi has that "spider sense" level awareness that alloes him to dribble players cominh right from behind, and makes us think "how the hell did he knew a rival ws coming?".
He not only scans a lot, he actually "see" things faster. His reflexes are out of chart.
He's the greatest playmaker ever.
God bless and grant Messi good success and all he needs to retire gracefully and peacefully.
Penalty for Argentina 💀

@@lastkvng2963 cry more peni don't win world cup in his career😂
@@lastkvng2963Yes he didn’t miss them. No player ever had that amount of pressure on their shoulders, and yet he was clinical when needed 🙂
His assist totals are incredible. People forget that for all those goals he has scored.
It's called football IQ. And this is why Messi tops Pele and Maradona. It's not just about scanning. Scanning just gives you the information on which to base your decision. The most important part is making the right decision (especially when you have more than one option), and then executing it. And unlike how the game was played 30 or 50 years ago, when the pace was much slower, all that usually has to happen in seconds, sometimes within a split second.
As an example of what happens when you don't hone this skill, take Kolo Muani's last minute lost chance in the final. If he had not been hypnotized by the goalposts, and turned his head ever so slightly, he would've seen Mbappe open to his left. A simple touch would have done it. He also fails to see Emi Martinez coming straight at him with arms and legs wide open, and decides to whack it instead of trying a gentle chip. He's a young player and has much to learn.
With Messi, this is a natural talent. Nobody taught him. He had it since he was a child. And by now he's perfected it. This is made evident in Argentina's second goal in the final, when he receives a ball from MacAllister with his back toward the French goal, and watches him run past him for the return pass. But he had already seen two French defenders behind him and knew that they would likely block the pass. Additionally, he knew that MacAllister would need a couple of seconds to gain the advantage. He also knew that Julian Alvarez was open by the side line with nobody marking him. So he touches the ball lightly in the air with his right foot and then flips it to Julian with his left, throwing off the French defenders. Julian makes the razor-sharp through pass, and MacAllister times his pass to Di María to perfection. IMHO, one of the best goals ever scored in a WC, certainly in this WC.
For all the skills, and dribbling, and speed, and power that a player may have (and it's good to have those too), it's using those skills smartly that makes the difference. This video highlights that very effectively, and I'm glad someone has finally done it, because it explains Messi's 'walking' very well, and how it works to his advantage. Some people think that football is about running like a wild animal, when actually it's about running when you can make it count, and better yet, making the ball run to make it count.
You've nailed it on so many points here.
Messi's technical ability stands out amongst his peers, and also amongst the best to ever play the game.
"it's about running when you can make it count, and better yet, making the ball run to make it count."
Exactly! As my dad always used to tell me: the ball is faster than the player.
I hope you realize how delusional you sound. Messi was born with it??! 😆 C'mon.
Brilliant analysis. Thank you 🙏
Another good example of this was his assist to Molina vs Netherlands. People ask how he saw the run of Molina, did he have eyes at the back of his head? But in reality it is his game sense. His understanding of the game is what seperates him from other legendary football players. He KNEW Molina would make the run and where he would be to receive his pass. And to top off his brilliant iq, he has the insane skill to pull off the execution of such a pass. He is unarguably the greatest player ever to set foot on a football pitch and he demonstrated all his different colours at the world cup: long shots, clutch goals, out-of-the-world passes, vintage dribbling skills, composure (ice in the veins) and the power of desire and leadership. The perfect campaign to summarise Lionel Messi.
For me,he won by "devouring" the skills of his teammates,and by developing a "chemical reaction" with them.
Haha Messi’s metavision is also insane (manga reference)

Great explanation of a vital skill in modern football. Scanning is the difference between a good player and a great player. Very important video and every young footballer should study and continually work on this skill.
This video is garbage. Scanning isn't that important. Players memorize positions.
His feet are on the ground, his eyes are in the air, his intelligence is above the wind. Master of eagle eyes. Lionel Messi.
Explains his insane football intelligence. He probably constantly create a real-time mental map of those around him in milliseconds.
The greatest player of all times ❤❤

The best way to describe messi playmaking or even style as a whole its like he plays with his eyes above the pitch
Scoring two goals and completing 90% of forward passes on the grandest stage of all is a legacy defining performance from Messi

Messi is the Goat of Kings of Football.
Messi's technical skills are simply amazing but still remain only a portion of his legendary abilities. His amazing crearive vision and abilities to shape the entire attack on and off the ball are by far his most effective skills.
Gotta say this is the best advertisement I’ve seen so far. I was fully engaged till the end.
This is not only a football video and an advertisement, this is also life lesson on how a holistic view of anticipation and planning is as important as individual skills for decision making.
Didn't feel like an ad. Well done.
Excellent video ❤ I wish this video was available to people who constantly complain that Messi is walking around and not running around like a chicken without a head 😂
EXCELLENT post. Of course, scanning is but a part of Messi's skill. It will NOT make you a Messi; his level is unteachable. But this is a critical skill that will ultimately improve your game.
people say there is no such thing like talent only hardwork, but when i see Messi it just alters my opinion some people really are blessed with god gifted talent.
Hidden Skill move in football, Thank you so much for explaining it✨
Brilliant breakdown. Thank you. Messi is a player of extraordinary skills. You’re helping me appreciate them even more 🙏👍

This video is going to millions of views.
Superb content bro.
woww. this is exactly what I do when I play volleyball. at some point in my playing years, I learned to constantly keep track of where all 12 players are so I can position myself most advantageously.
the volleyball court is MUCH smaller though, so you don't need to turn your head very much - it's more like processing your peripheral vision enough so you know where players are positioned - but the idea of keeping tabs on the flow of the game so you're not caught off guard is the same. awesome stuff!
Leo's playmaking is the epitome of fluidity, a transcendental river that cascades through the heart of the opposition, carving its path with the finesse of a master sculptor.
His passes are the whispers of the wind, guiding the ball with the delicate touch of a poet's quill, each stroke a verse in a breathtaking symphony of creation. His vision is that of an eagle soaring miles above the earth, surveying the battlefield with a clarity and precision that defies mortal comprehension.
This ability to scan is explained well in the Blue Lock manga and it is called “metavision”. The best players always scan the field, take in all of that information, and then using their football IQ, they come to the best decision to achieve their goals, whether that goal is scoring, or setting up a teammate, etc. This is exactly what Isagi (the main character of Blue Lock) learns and uses it to absolutely annihilate teams.
I've always been a scanner. The best players are scanners. Xavi was the grandmaster (and, of course, the scanning midfield of Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, and Messi was deadly). It's shocking to me how many pro players are poor scanners. As you say, it's a skill that can be practiced and learned and, frankly, easier to learn than most physical skills. Any coach teaching young players should make this skill a priority.
He his simply God gifted.
Another good point is his walking is actually brilliant. Not because of the walking itself, its where he walks. He consistently occupies whichever space on the pitch is the most dangerous one, and slowly adjusts his position to remain in that as the players move. Towards the beginning of the game he drifts in and out of it. Part of why he often starts slow. As he gets the feel he pretty much lives there the rest of the match.
They used ML to analyze player positioning a few years back and figure out if any players were especially good at it. Messi was better than everyone else by a country mile. The group after him where all brilliant midfield playmakers.
Its the reason he picks and chooses his moments to help defensively. He's maintaining the dangerous position so he can spring after the attack.
He's basically playing a playmaker they way some strikers play poacher. Its mental. So people talking players innovating. . . What position does Messi truly play? Whether hes a striker, midfielder or right winger, he pretty nuch drifts into whatever the weak point of the defense is and wreaks havoc as a creator, and then often turns around and becomes a striker, frequently finishing off the chance he created in the first place 4 passes ago.
His location changes, but he basically plays his own position that no one else has any idea how to play yet. Someday people will catch up, just like how many players can replicate the skills and way Pele played now. But like Pele, we'll probably be old by the time anyone catches up.
Very good info. You could also notice many times the players around him often ended up watching Messi when he's on the ball instead of scanning their surrounding first.
Now I'm curious how Maguire scans his surrounding in every matches lol
The point you make at 2:55 is impeccable. How much uicker he was to react is literally the difference for La Pulga, and any great, ie Steph curry.
This deserves a 100 part series. Give us 99 more. Then you can do 100 on his shoe laces.
we all football lovers need to be grateful because we are living with this legend. I'm not sure we will see legend like that anymore
The best coach my son ever had pulled him up from a much lower level team bc he liked the way he checked his shoulder as the 6 and made mostly simple, decisive, 1-level passes on the ground. Thus cosch’s mantra to the team was “check your shoulder, check your shoulder, check your freaking shoulder!” He incorporated scanning into even simple drills. That team’s focus on the fundamentals of possesion football made them successful. Teams that have been less succesful tend to be the ones with guys who are convinced of their superior ability to dribble. Footskills have their place when you have an advantage or a 1v1 but some guys think they’re gonna go ‘coast to coast’ numbers be damned.
He sees more than what people see that are on the higher levels of the stadiums
When we say Messi is the GOAT it’s not only about goal scoring .. it’s about everything else he does before that and this video explains it better
Nobody is gonna talk about how this informational video turned into a brilliant product promotion of the VR? I’m not even a football fan.
Even without all the modern complex AI tech statistics, He is still the best player football has seen. What He does on a pitch is just unreal and he's been doing it for all his life. He was a footballing sensation when he was 4 in Rosario and it only got better.
"I've played but with lots and lots of great players, but Leo is a freak"

"Leo Messi is The God of Football"

Its good. We perceived what we see with our central vision. We dont really process anything we see on our peripheral vision. Moving head like this help to deeply understand the circumstances of the game and make the best just in time decision making.
Situational awareness is what divides pros and amateurs
It's really cool to see the 'science' behind that skill, but I think football is more passion and skill than theory
Messi will forever be studied like a course... he is the master of past, present and future football.
This is the best Ad I've ever seen in my life
simply supernatural things
What’s crazy is all the little touches on the ball he does that you can only see in slow motion.
He’s great at the end of a food shop also
Really quick scans

Thanks bro for the updates always
Very detailed, nuanced and awesome video!
I’ve always enjoyed watching that side of the game along with movement off the ball..
He even scanned the position of the goalkeeper “Hugo Loris” although he didn’t possess the ball before lautaro's shot to predict the rebound
Incredible
Very important video. Kudos!
If Maguire learned this skill, he would be an even bigger nightmare
for De Gea
"messi is known mostly for what he is able to do with his feet, but its something thar he does with his HEAD thats equally important."
I cant 😂😂😂😂
Great video- really shows a interesting perspective on what goes into being a great player.
Annoying thing is when your teammates delay releasing the ball then all scanning goes to waste. Or when you have no idea when they will release the ball because they dribble unnecessarily.
Basically summing up PSG
You talking about his psg teammates?
For those wondering about Be Your Best… yes it absolutely helps you and one of the nicest perks is that the more you train the less nervous you get in matches and the better you can keep your cool. This is crucial to provide good performances to your team
Messi also uses it because he is constantly shadowed and double teamed. He uses it to find pockets of space where he can recieve the ball and where the openings are
Information is gold but how you handle and process the gold makes you king
In this video scanning is only mentioned in an offensive role. If you look at a player like Eriksen you will see he scans all the time when his team doesn't have the ball to block the opponents passing opportunities.
Anyone who doubts the importance of scanning should see the 1981 film Scanners. Powerful stuff.
Its insane that one of Messi's natural talent which deve;oped into pure instinct( i dare say it) is being studiied by professionals to improve their skills are a player !!!!
1. Scanning can be learned and trained.
2. Have better reaction time, memory and field awareness.
3. A critical scan is the last scan a player makes before receiving the ball.
4. Only scan in intervals of passing, do not scan at the moment a pass is made.
Well documented. Thank you !
your channel is the BEST ! for these kinds of tactics and playing style , you just know all the detailed secrets -
G.O.A.T for reason
That dreadful feeling when you realize that you've been watching an ad the whole time.
Właśnie tak rozumiem gre, jest to dla mnie najważniejsza umiejętność w piłce nożnej i treningi powinny składać głównie z tego aspektu. Brawo za pomysł na technologie👍
Well...he was even scanning as a little kid ,obviously nobody was teaching him , born to play football, amazingly talented.
INCREDIBLE! Look at how a player uses his eyes to see things!
If Messi turned entrepreneur and wanted to sell his scanning skills,the first buyer would obviously be Ronaldo 😅
I mean Ronaldo is already a better player, he doesn't even need Messi's left foot, his left does the job just as fine
Whoever saw antelopes grazing l think thus their head gestures showing preparedness from the the attacking predators.l am trying to say that antelope is Messi the goat🔥🔥
Simply the best ❤
The deference between Messi and Ronaldo! Messi is a pure natural talent and dedication, Ronaldo - hard work, persistence and perseverance. Watching Messi playing is a true pleasure!
Proper midfielder ❤
Great ad! Bravo!! 👌
a very well explained video on messi unique ability ❤love from india
Wow I didn’t know this parameter, what ba beautiful analysis!!!
It’s true, Messi is the only player on the planet capable of turning his head
It's one of the few players whose can do that to collect information about the pitch. The rest just look, don't understand all they need, and, if they do, they don't have the skill to make it worth it and get all the value of doing it.
Sorry, I saw you didn't understand so I wanted to help you 😊
Loved the segway into an ad haha. Usually not a fan of ads(who is) but ones like this are great
Enjoy while he’s there. 😢
This is why midfielders and wingers are often my favorite players. They are the thinkers on the team.
In this video you can see his reaction to scan is also fast too. Its what make him greatest dribller react first before the opponent.
Such a incredible video
